WHAT IT DOES

What community-approve does on Nostr Bray

AI agents use community-approve to create or update resources in Nostr Bray, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Nostr Bray environment.

RISK

Why community-approve is rated Medium

This tool modifies data (the community feed) by approving posts, which is reversible (the approval can be removed or amended). It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), involve financial transactions (Financial), or merely read data (Read).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Approve a post in a community you moderate' and 'Wraps the original event for inclusion in the community feed' — this creates or modifies the community feed state by adding an approval wrapper.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs community-approve safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nostr Bray, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For community-approve, this is the rule to start with:

community-approve Rate-limited

community-approve stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
